The promise of educational technology was convenience and learning support. The reality? Students’ personal lives are exposed to administrators, teachers, and big tech itself.
Chromebooks running Google’s OS and Chrome browser quietly build profiles of children’s interests and habits—conditioning consumer behavior long before they even have spending power. Lawsuits have been filed, but legal loopholes allow the tracking to continue.
The outcome is a generation of students monitored, restricted, and denied true autonomy in how they learn.
But it doesn’t have to stay this way. By reclaiming freedom of device choice, schools and families can restore privacy, encourage independent learning, and give kids the tools to build real technical literacy.
